History and architecture

In 1227, Count Baderich II von Belzig donated the church or the churches to the Colebecke (Cölbigk) monastery on the Wipper near Bernburg (Anhalt). It is believed that this already relates to the preserved structure. The church is probably one of the oldest stone churches in Fläming. It once carried the Pankratius - patronage .

The church is a late Romanesque hall church made of field stone with a recessed, rectangular choir and apse from the first quarter of the 13th century. The masonry is only slightly ashlar. A half-timbered roof tower with a solid west wall, curved hood and octagonal lantern , which was renewed in 1908, is built over the west gable . The following have been preserved in their original form: the western step portal, the walled-up arched portal on the southern choir wall and several of the high-seated small windows on the north side, the others were extended in 1908 with round arches. A former community portal in the south wall of the ship can only be seen in traces. The interior is flat and shows a round arched triumphal arch and apse arch, on the north side approaches to the choir barriers are still recognizable. The polychromy was created and the furnishings were added during a restoration in 1908. In 2003 the western part of the church was scaffolded and the tower renovated.

Furnishing

The altarpiece dates from 1713 and was restored in 1881. In three paintings, one on top of the other, he shows the Lord's Supper, Descent from the Cross and Entombment, framed by tendrils in relief. The wooden pulpit dates from the end of the 17th century, the polygonal basket is provided with corner pillars and a twisted support; the staircase and the painting were renewed in 1908. The west and south pores and the box stalls in the choir were created around 1700. Four gravestones from the 18th and 19th centuries should also be mentioned, including a children's gravestone from 1711 with an acanthus frame and a putto in relief . The organ is a work by Friedrich Wilhelm Lobbes from 1881 with nine stops on a manual and pedal .
